The potential of fuel cells (FCs) for a decentralised and individually controllable energy supply is not yet being fully exploited. A low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (NT-PEM-FC) is ideally suited for stationary and mobile applications due to its low operating temperatures and its superior performance in intermittent operation. In Part 1 of this article, alternative, sustainable materials were developed for individual components, and their potential for use in fully bonded FCs was tested through durability studies. Part 2 now presents results regarding the manufacture and performance of the components during operation. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) demonstrates the extent to which the use of sustainable materials impacts their application in FCs.
